Reliance Lyf Earth 2 Specifications and Price in India

Reliance retail, makers of various smartphones branded with the Lyf moniker, has launched the Reliance Lyf Earth 2 in India. The Reliance Lyf Earth 2 is the successor of the Reliance Lyf Earth 1 that was launched earlier this year. The device is exquisitely designed with very powerful inner specs at an affordable price, and is set to rival other popular smartphones within its price range.

Reliance Lyf Earth 2 Specifications (Details)

Display & Body Design

Reliance Lyf Earth 2 Display

The device features a 5-inch Full HD display with a pixel density of 445 PPI. The body is made with a 7.2mm thick aluminum alloy frame, giving it a premium look. The phone is surprisingly light at 140g, lighter than most other smartphones in its range. The display supports a resolution of 1920 * 1080 pixels, and is actually designed with AMOLED panels, unlike the Reliance Lyf Water 7 which had an LCD display.

Reliance Lyf Earth 2 Color Variants

The Reliance Lyf Earth 2 gives you a wide range of colors to choose from, with four different color variants: Green, Gold, Black and White. The display supports 16 million colors.

A rather interesting feature of this device is its fingerprint scanner. While the presence of the fingerprint scanner itself is not so interesting considering that we’ve seen so many smartphones already with fingerprint scanners this year, the one found on the Reliance Lyf Earth 2 can be used for other things apart from unlocking the device. It can be used to launch your favorite apps by assigning different functions to your different fingerprints. The device also comes with a retina scanner, also for unlocking it.

Memory & Performance

The Lyf Earth 2 is powered by an Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor with processing speeds of up to 1.5 GHz. The powerful processor is further made more efficient by 3GB of RAM included in the device. Internal storage capacity is 32GB, and can be expanded further up to 64GB via a micro SD card.

Power & Battery

The Reliance Lyf Earth 2 like other budget Reliance phones comes with a 2,500mAh battery, which in my opinion is too small for the processing power. I mean, all that processing speed and capacity, with this miniature battery…

The battery is rumored to have a standby time of 480 hours and a talk time of 840 minutes. How the battery performs on normal usage in a day is not known, though.

The device has a hybrid dual SIM slot, which houses one micro SIM slot and a hybrid nano SIM slot which could be used either for an extra SIM card or for memory expansion with an external micro SD card.

Camera

The Reliance Lyf Earth 2 is set to excel in photography, with both the rear and front cameras having 13MP lenses. The main camera is equipped with super-fast autofocus and a LED flash. It does not stop there though. The auto-focus equipped with the rear camera utilizes LASER technology, which allows the camera to focus on images in 0.1 seconds.

The selfie camera is also equipped with phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) and comes with a LED flash. The camera app comes with support for voice commands, by which you’d be able to take selfies using voice commands, as well as switch back and forth between the front and rear cameras for photography.

Software & Others

The Reliance Lyf Earth 2 runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box, which is quite becoming old-fashioned by the day, even as Google recently announced the official name for Android version 7.0. The fact that the device comes with both a fingerprint scanner and a retina scanner at the same time could give it a favorable edge over its competitors in the smartphone market. Combine that with its exquisite design, and you’ll only be left wondering if its manufacturers made a mistake while setting the price of the device.
